Fleet has suggested (32) that since the names Rāṭhor and Rāṭhod are to be derived from the term Rāṣṭrakūṭa, we may connect the Rāṣṭrakūṭas with the Rājputānā-Kanauj country, which seems to be the original habitat of the Rāṭhor clans of the Rajputs. But the Rāṭhors come to our notice much later than the southern Rāṣṭrakūṭa families, and it is quite possible that the Rajput Rāṭhors may be the descendants of some members of the Deccan Rāṣṭrakūṭa families, left behind in northern India during the northern campaigns of Dhruva I, Govinda III, Indra III and Kṛṣṇa III.
